  • yepyepy90421635 yepyepyep (@yepyepy90421635) reported

    @patatifique @Jorge98610725 @TinyInfinityy If he is an actual kid, I’m gonna assume that most likely him and his mom have similar SIM cards. Which is the problem. Overwatch won’t send to all phones. Mediocrity

  • ScottMRamirtha Scott (Starfy) (@ScottMRamirtha) reported

    @SALAMANGREATER this dude taking a class on what kind of energy!? (also theres no booked time for overwatch 2 i see a problem)

  • dcfcholm j (@dcfcholm) reported

    Overwatch 2 is so broken

  • lesboseksueel Jasper or Rose (your pronouns) (@lesboseksueel) reported

    I will say the overwatch devs picked the right sound for their loading screen because it's soothing and probably the only thing standing between me and punching a hole in the nearest wall the next time I see that server error message

  • YaseenBrownOS Yaseen Brown (@YaseenBrownOS) reported

    4 emails, 5 sms’s, 2 app downloads and 8 login to get on overwatch. Then I timed out and went back into the queue

  • AliceTsukii AliceTsuki (@AliceTsukii) reported

    Theres a special place in hell for the people that did the ddos atacks on the overwatch 2 servers.

  • strwbryminade bree 🍂 (@strwbryminade) reported

    me who has been playing overwatch since basically a year after release still can't get in bro how come some people have no problems this is bs

  • haileykb hkb (@haileykb) reported

    at least you guys are getting the error that you can't get into the game. apparently overwatch 2 has been running since last night without the actual game popping up AND while my computer was off.

  • SevereTY Severe (@SevereTY) reported

    Overwatch 2 still having login and queue issues after a whole day is crazy

  • Kayramir_ Kayra🧙🏼‍♀️✨🌊 (@Kayramir_) reported

    @Hyperlox_ @PlayOverwatch the problem is called overwatch 2

  • keliikai BP keliikai (@keliikai) reported

    overwatch 2 servers seem to be a LITTLE better but I'm still getting the glitch where it boots me from my game when I get an xbox achievement 😭😭

  • Sway_XIII Pokemon Trainer Sway (@Sway_XIII) reported

    It’s honestly not surprising at all that Overwatch 2 was DDoS’d on launch day. I wish I could say I had faith in release days for online games to be anything less than tragic lol

  • Luna_Kitsuna 💛Luna🖤 (she/they)🇲🇫 (@Luna_Kitsuna) reported

    Sooo do we have any update on the overwatch cosmetic/server issues?

  • jaredrusso Jared Russo (@jaredrusso) reported

    Overwatch 2 not working a day after release is embarrassing and ridiculous. Clearly Activision/Kotick told Blizzard a few years ago to abandon quality for more profits, and then we get talent leaving and Diablo Immortal, runestones in Hearthstone, and now this. Garbage.

  • SteelCitySaint キング Steven (1-3) (@SteelCitySaint) reported

    Overwatch 2 literally broke on launch and is still near broken for a lot of players like myself. That's the most Blizzard thing I've ever seen.

  • Alvelinh Alvelin (with a H) (@Alvelinh) reported

    Overwatch 2 actually rules. They actually fixed almost every problem I had with it. I played for more than 3 hours and didnt want to kms even once!

  • mshxllfire Hxllfire (@mshxllfire) reported

    Anyone else having issues merging accounts on Overwatch? I didn’t get a QR code to scan and I’m out of ideas on what to do. #Overwatch2

  • softgranolabar Garbo (@softgranolabar) reported

    @BlizzardCS hi! i was able to get in but now theres a new issue where my duo parter and i cant group because it says we're in different versions of overwatch

  • Benalderson7 Ben alderson (@Benalderson7) reported

    @lilithbehaviour @TJ__Avery My phone and number are both from Verizon. Years ago we switched to cricket for the service. Now I’m barred from playing overwatch

  • icefiretyrant Ryx (@icefiretyrant) reported

    @Matthewnoid8 @Toadsanime Wtf are you talking about. The main problems came from Blizzard, and Blizzard works on Overwatch.

  • kisapniaq brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (@kisapniaq) reported

  • McBessaYeehaw 🏳️‍🌈McBessa™👑🏳️‍🌈 (GRUB) (@McBessaYeehaw) reported

  • LetzGetTropikal Jacob Kitching (@LetzGetTropikal) reported

    @Erin37759958 @aaronkellerOW @PlayOverwatch Overwatch 2 got hit with a DDOS attack last night. It got hit by a second one late last night, and as far as I'm aware the impact of the attack is still messing with servers.

  • DenRasch DenRa (@DenRasch) reported

    20 hours and the Overwatch 2 servers are still experiencing issues. Guess that's what a billion dollar company does.

  • WLR_Slatt 𖤐 Pelle Øystein Skwisgaar𖤐 (@WLR_Slatt) reported
